The first time i watched the pilot of Prison Break, i still remembered the awe i felt when Wenthworth Miller's character reveals that the tats on his body are in fact, a fine print of the map o break out of prison. I still remember the excitement i felt during the first few episodes of the first season, when there are relevant twists after twists to keep me satisfied, at least until another week.
Assuming that those who read this blog are already familiar with the premises and storyline of the series, it's sad to say that this great serial went the way of an errand ex-girlfriend. I had a bad breakup with Prison Break, mainly because during/after the third season, she went out of her way to throw BS after another BS to me, and i just can't take it anymore.
See, the series are really supposed to be about - well, Prison Break. But the finale for the first season - honestly, quite disappoints me. Instead of a genius plan to get out of the prison undetected (they still accomplished that -partly), they resorts to violence, which frankly still leaves a sour taste in my mouth till today.
And then, the second season. As you know, there's a certain something called the "Second Season Syndrome". But Prison Break really break out of the mould, that the series itself could aptly have been retitled Prison Run. And that's when my relationship with this serial starts to wane.
Did you see that pic above? I didn't accidentally upload a thumbnail. I am really pissed with the direction that this great serial is heading to that i won't bother downloading a nice pic for you. Ah, Prison Break. It's good while it lasted (Season 1).
